I don't think anybody is claiming that ALL terrorism is a direct result of Iraq / Afghanistan. Nor, is anybody stating the UK attacks are soley a result of this either, but it sure as hell increased the risk.

I'm surprised that you ever thought that Al Qaeda and associates really needed a cause. They are just thugs using whatever they can to cause trouble and make themselves appear important.

This is al Zarqawi's final solution - Death to everybody that doesn't agree with him.

Who needed proof of that?

9/11 was before Iraq, are people blaming it on that though?

Unfortunately its not just on here either, the message needs to be a global one where so many people think Iraq/Afghanistan is the be all and end all of al Qaeda. It couldn't be further from the truth.
Iraq / Afghanistan are just another reason on a very long list. If the UK had not gone in to either, I suspect these recent attacks on London would not have happened (yet), other countries would have been higher up the list.

No I think people believe the threat is more greater to the UK now because of Iraq and Afganistan.... dont think there are many people thick enough to believe thats where Al Qaeda came from, especially since 9/11 was done by Al Qaeda and the bombings a couple of years ealier below the WTC. We wasnt attacking Afganistan then either

I hope the World stands up and sees this for what it is. These two men were nothing to do with the West or the Invasion of Iraq by the US and UK. Murdering two Algerians should highlight to the World that al Qaeda is murdering anyone they feel like has offended Islam in their eyes. Algeria is not an ally of the US or UK. Its nothing to do with the invasion of Iraq.


Iraq is just an easy way and excuse to murder people by Zarqawi

bravo didnt i say to u last yr, i was the only one

zarqawi is a psycho a man more dangerous than osama, osama is tame in comparison, zarqawi wants to go in the history books of being the biggest menace since hitler and media and fame he loves

Fine, BUT you have just given 3 different reasons why 9/11 happened. the point of which you Quoted me from what Bravo was saying about proving terrorism isnt JUST about Iraq....

No not missed the point mate, I do understnad you have enough knowledge on the subject... But I dont think its mainly thought off that terrorism is because of Iraq. There are very few are that are that short sighted IMO, not saying there aint some numpties out there that do believe that but theyre probably too thick to pursuade otherwise anyhow...

Just look at some of the comments from previous threads, on news websites with readers comments etc and its pretty worrying to think there are so many people who don't understand the real reasons behind whats happened.

Had we been in Iraq or not al Qaeda would still have got to us, their network of terrorism just took time to build out from the gulf region and spread to Europe and South East Asia. All Iraq did was give al Qaeda more firepower to twist Islam and extremist Muslims to their beliefs.

never bros they never did have a beef with britain only america and israel
